Water repellent fabric allows water to run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from swelling, and keeps it lightweight, breathable and warm. A fabric becomes water repellent by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifetime (recommended after every wash). We sell products for this purpose in our stores.

A score to compare the products' environmental impact

The product's environmental impact is calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators. An overall rating of ABCDE is provided to help you easily identify products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with each other (t-shirts, trousers and backpacks). Decathlon is a voluntary actor in this environmental labelling process.

Water-repellent properties of the component

A fabric's water repellent property is its ability to make water run off its surface without soaking in. This prevents the fabric from swelling and keeps it lightweight, breathable and warm. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment must be restored throughout the garment's lifetime (after every wash). Such waterproofing products are available in our stores. All the Quechua over-trousers have received a water-repellent treatment.
